News About This Theater

This theater opened in 1966 as a single screen auditorium with around 1,000 seats. It was later divided into four screens. It was last operated by the Village Entertainment chain, but was closed in 2008.

The owner of record got what sounds like a fair settlement ($480,000 for a very depressed property) but it must have been terribly expensive to operate, and maybe it was highly taxed as well. From this point things should move forward. Sorry about the end of this story; it should have ended better.

It’s really sad because my grandfather help build it, and my mother worked there when she was a teenager. Both of them are passed on now, so I’m glad neither had to witness what became of that theater. I added a picture of what it looked like the other day.
